dc.description.abstractAlthough previous population based studies have looked at the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) in different groups, studies on the incidence of MS are few and lacking from the South Asian region. This is mainly because long-term cohort studies are difficult to sustain. The Ragama Health Study (RHS) follow up in 2014 looked at the incidence of MS in an urban adult Sri Lankan population that was originally recruited in 2007. Traditional and novel risk factors associated with the development of incident MS were identified. We also looked at the outcome of those identified with MS and its components in 2007.en_US
